"I've gained and lost many things over my many years of existence. So... no, it doesn't bother me."

[expulse]

[ Hm... ]

No longer worried about being left behind then?

[selfconcept]

"Oh, that."

[ How embarrassing, but Hien doesn't have any pride about it. ]

"There was this weird picture book that kept scribbling me out... and with my mindset back then, I was scared of being erased."

[expulse]

It was cute.

[ Not, like, the distress, but the sentiment. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien just looks at him like









ok ]

[expulse]

[ Smiles! ]

[selfconcept]

"... But thanks again, for saving our asses back there."

[expulse]

[ Shrugs. ]

I'm overdue for a lesson in teamwork. [ They are a team. ] I assume others have come to worry.

[selfconcept]

"... Yeah. A team."

[ Hien also thinks he himself is bad at teamwork. ]

"I can't believe how forgiving everyone is. I'm probably gonna regret saying that when I eventually talk to Hak, huh."

[expulse]

You think he won't forgive you too? He seems softhearted.

[selfconcept]

"He's kind, but he definitely needs some time. He's the one that I'm worried about the most."

[ And not Soowon? The guy he literally killed? Yeah. ]

"I'm fine with Hak developing a grudge against me until the end of time. I'm just worried about his mental health."

[expulse]

[ Pauses a while, thinking this through. He really has no experience dealing with people's emotions.

And he's not sure that he wants to either. Who cares about any of these people that will disappear from his life once they leave here...? ]

He appears to be surrounded by people who are invested in his well-being. He also seems annoying enough to pull himself through it.

[ Annoyingly persistent... He does like it though. ]

You won't miss that friendship, either?

[ Does it fall under "you win some, you lose some"? ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien is well versed in saying farewells or just leaving without saying anything. Sometimes, that's just life for you. ]

"I would, but him being happy is more important than my selfishness."

[expulse]

You're also very soft-hearted.

[ Pats his head. ]

[selfconcept]

"And you're not?"

[ Just looks at Sylus and leaves his own hair alone. ]

[expulse]

Am I? I couldn't care less about your Hak's mental health or happiness.

[ he's such a fake idgafer ]

[selfconcept]

"Did you forget the initial reason why we decided to return to the island?"

[ Boy, don't think he didn't see you staring at Yaywon (MC).

He's not blaming Sylus that they returned, but like... you care?? At least about certain people. Admit it. ]

[expulse]

[ Oh well, ]

She's different. It's not like worrying over every poor soul you meet.

[selfconcept]

"Who was she, anyway? It looked like you had a slap slap kiss moment."

[ lmao ]

[expulse]

[ He doesn't mind answering, but, ]

A what?

[selfconcept]

"She didn't look interested in your flirting until the last moment when you two kissed."

[expulse]

[ OKAY maybe that is true. But. ]

... It usually takes time for her to remember me.

[selfconcept]

"... Is that a usual thing? Is she an amnesiac?"

[ Huh ]

[expulse]

Rebirth.

[ But the amnesiac take is hilarious. ]

We've died and met again several times.

[selfconcept]

"Reincarnation?"

[ Damn, son. Aight. ]

"Damn... she must have really captured your heart, huh? That's oddly romantic."
